My brother is a developer for Microsoft. He told me last year to wait for the commercial release before upgrading and to give it a little time (Service Pack likely needed).
But overall he says it is a good product. It doesn't really matter anyway. It's here, It's Microsoft, and you will have to eventually upgrade if you want to run the 'latest' software packages.
But your initial post is right. You need a beefy PC to run it. Minimum standards (to use the Aero interface which is one of the best parts of the new OS --it's Mac-like in that part) are you need 1 GB of RAM and 15 GB harddrive space.
Well, my PC is due for an update as I have the memory, but my PC is maxed out at a Gig of RAM.
So, I think I'm going to wait a couple of months and by a new DELL with the OS already on it and make sure I have at least 2 GB of ram (min expandable to 4 GB for growth).
Looking forward to getting it and playing with it sometime soon.
Thanks, for sharing Mikey!
